I was wondering if anyone has or knows of any scientific studies on the benefits of consuming your placenta after birth? I was in a "discussion" with a very scientific minded (but very pro alternative medicine) women at a workhsop today and she argued that there is no way it "really" benefits mom, prevents ppd, etc. I would love some studies to email her!

Check the MSNBC.com site and search 'placentophagy' they had an article there recently.

Not studies, but Midwifery Today has had some great articles on this.

Personally I'm certain that it works and for me first hand knowledge is proof!

Tell her to PM me.

Seriously though.
